]]>The Sony NEX-7 sits right at the top of the company’s compact system camera (CSC) range and is currently one of the most expensive CSCs available, costing around £1,000 for the body only, or around £1,130 with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

The NEX-7 appears to be aimed at demanding users who like the idea of a more compact camera, but don’t wish to compromise on image quality or exposure control. Videographers may also look at this new Sony with interest because it’s capable of recording Full HD video with AF tracking and manual exposure control.
